Last weekend a friend of mine, Geoff Dann, came to walk round the woods and look for fungi. He's an experienced forager, so I was more than happy to have him visit and join him for a stroll. Here's the pics of what we found, including the ones I ate for dinner! :-)
Penny Bun (Boletus edulis), also know as Porcino or Cep - one of the nice ones to eat!
Death Cap (Amanita phalloides) - this one's certainly not for eating, in fact the example in this picture is enough to kill two or three people...
Parasol mushroom (Macrolepiota procera), a good one to eat - though it has a similar relative that can cause stomach upsets in some people.
The Blusher (Amanita rubescens)
A Milkcap of some sort (Lactarius sp.)
False Death Cap (Amanita citrina). Not especially poisonous, but too similar to the Death Cap to be worth eating...
Poison Pie (Hebeloma sp.)
Peppery Bolete (Chalciporus piperatus)
The Miller (Clitopilus prunulus)
The classic toadstool - Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria)
Brown Rollrim (Paxillus involutus)
Bolete being attacked by the Bolete Eater (Hypomyces chrysospermus)
An Amanita of some sort
Magpie Inkcap (Coprinopsis picea)
Common Puffball (Lycoperdon perlatum)
Another Milkcap (Lactarius sp.)
Common Yellow Brittlegill (Russula Ochroleuca)
Tawny Grisette (Amanita fulva)
And finally, here's some cooked Parasol and Penny Bun, ready to eat!
